Tell ‘Em Large Marge Sent Ya! All of these moments that I’ve let slip through my fingertips All of the words that I’ve wasted on you are wearing fast Let’s just work it out Let’s try to get it right Let’s just give ourselves the rest of the night All of these words don’t mean one goddamn thing if I’m talking to myself All of these days are just wasted away when I'm spending them by myself Let’s just work it out Let’s try to get it right Let’s just give ourselves the rest of the night One more time Let’s do it right We’ve got the time We’ll talk all night One last day We’ll do it right We’ll say goodbye We’ll try to get it right Let’s walk home, singing all those songs we know And talk about the days gone by and talk about the lives we’ve lived Let’s just work it out Let’s try to get it right Let’s just give ourselves the rest of the night

Pull Me Down 02:09
I wanna die. I fight to keep my eyes open most of the time. I wanna die. I just don’t know if I can face the day again. But I hope that this makes sense It’s not your fault, it’s all my bullshit That I dragged along, and I’m at the end of my rope Is there anybody out there? Is anybody listening Does anybody even care at all? I’m waiting for the blackout It’s Dark in here I’m reaching out for someone’s hand to pull me down Today I smoked my 10th last cigarette The paper burned down to my fingertips But these vices are all I've got They’ve been with me for so long No they’re all but gone I’m all used up Is there anybody out there? Is anybody listening Does anybody even care at all? I’m waiting for the blackout It’s Dark in here I’m reaching out for someone’s hand to pull me down Is there anybody out there? Is anybody listening Does anybody even care at all? I’m waiting for the blackout It’s Dark in here I’m reaching out for someone’s hand to pull me down To pull me down To pull me down Pull me down.

I’ve been stumbling through these halls, Hoping that I’ll some answers I’ve been stumbling through the years, Hoping that I’ll find some stability Everyday is another battle. Fighting tooth and nail just to survive. I’ve been fighting this pain in my head, For so long that I don’t know myself On and on, it’s the same old story Another day another week another year On and on, we just keep on struggling We can’t thrive we just survive On and on, make a voice make a sound Everyone is staring at you so be sure to make it count On and on, be sure to get it right Don’t lose hope and don’t give up the fight Scrape open my eyes so I can finally see That there's more to this life than redundancy So get me out of bed dressed and through that front door I'm gonna tackle this world like I've never before And I don't give a fuck what you think of my friends We live our lives without regret to the end This message ringing loud and clear in my ear Today is a new day and I'll start it living my way I'll start it living my way I'll start it living my way Today is a new day I'll start it living my way Today is a new day I'll start it living my way Today is a new day I'll start it living my way now

What ever happened to the optimist in you? Broke down shattered and now its gone You've been in bed for weeks, clinging to your sheets These days are getting harder to face Where did purpose go? You're hanging out windows Come back inside because it's getting cold You never wanted this, you think you won't be missed When an empty casing is found next to you Don't let go when the walls are caving in Just reach out it will get better Don't let go when you're feeling dead inside This is not your time You've gotta take control Step up and play your role Living at the mercy of your vices You used to be my friend Now you're just pretend Don't be alone with your thoughts now You've gotta get back, your life back on track Mental outlook isn't where it used to be Negativity and inconsistency There are better ways to live your life Don't let go when the walls are caving in Just reach out it will get better Don't let go when you're feeling dead inside This is not your time

Dear Mom and Dad I swear I'm not alright I'm driving this car one way into a lake tonight In a blaze of glory we're all going down What we've lost this time can not be found What we've lost this time can not be found Let's crack open beers and talk politics Exploding differences as this time bomb ticks Right about this time you'll kick me out of your house again This is becoming more than just a trend This is becoming more than just a trend Same Irish Catholic bullshit here we go again These double standards for all these years I've condemned So wash your hands in holy water and drink their wine It was Kool-aid for all this time It was Kool-aid for all this time Push comes to shove, we abandon love Our stubborn ways, our portrait fades Modern family problems, our silence won't solve them I'm giving up This can't be how its gotta be Remember when we were happy? No fighting with one another, we got along with each other Now everybody drinks too much Irish blood and alcohol are a crutch Put the bottle down and think clearly These words I sing sincerely
